Toriyama's new game unveiling in 2015

The truth is, FF 13's biggest problem by far was its narrative and characters. I thought the paradigm system was actually quite a lot of fun and a great way to leverage turn based sensibilities in a real time capacity. But the story and characters were so bad it ruined the whole game.

If Toriyama's next game has a different writer - someone with actual writing talent, I'd consider it for sure.

It's not just writing to me. As a director of a main series Final Fantasy title it was his responsible to uphold and foster the legacy of the series. He mustn't have released an inferior product but he did, he mustn't have released 2 inferior sequels but he did.

No, he failed as director and I want him to leave or direct online social mobile games, he can't do much damage there.
 
Trolliyama loves to party or at least be there promoting his games.haha

speaking of trolls, look who's next to him.

Eh, he was here hosting the LR launch event. In a nightclub.
 
EDIT2: Haha, look who I found in that video:

It's Square Enix PR dude Akio Ofuji, the host of the Active Time Reports with Tabata & Co. Seems like a cool cat, I like him^^

He needs two beers in each hand.

edit : oops quoted from FF XV ATR thread and accidentally bumped this old thread. my bad mods
 
From the FFXIII launch party hosted by Maxim.
Troy Baker was there, too :D

Man, this whole party looks so awkward. Who had the idea to launch a JRPG at a Maxim party. You could maaaybe do that with FFXV, not with FFXIII.

Awh, look at Alli Hillis. I was Facebook friends with Alli for awhile bc she didn't really understand how Facebook worked and let a ton of people on her personal Facebook page. I learned she does a lot of good work with animal shelters and dog rescue. Alli Hillis is good people.
 
Ff16: Lightning strikes twice.

Amirite?

Seriously though, looking forward to it, hope its good, anybody know if this is likely be a TGS reveal.
 
Too soon for FFXVI to be announced, so it's not that thank goodness! Not DQXI either, hopefully it's something original or a mobile title. I really don't trust this guy around any of my beloved franchises.
 
Any capacity, I doubt SE would would make him a director for anything ever again.

I suppose I can say why not? He actually releases games and they sell well enough, especially when he uses less assets and costs. Also, his games, despite their many story flaws (get him a good writer, SE, and you will see improvement), do have fantastic battle systems.

You are right but I don't think Motomu Toriyama will ever not want to be a part of the writing process. His games would be just fine (X-2 is actually an extremely fun game with a diverse battle system, XIII-2 has a whole bunch of side content that is worthwhile) but I think, as much as a lot of us hate on his writing, he is truly passionate about his stories.
 
What if they announce FFXVI or hell why not FF versus XV? OMG I'd give anything to see a NeoGaf's reaction to an announcement like that.
